Oh yes, I know that concoction. I think Guadalajara, a restaurant here in Houston, makes Fajitas Botanas, and they are INCREDIBLE. Delicious cubed grilled sirloin over very thick flour tortilla chips, with tons of cheese...oh my....good stuff!! Primo's in Dallas makes 'em too, but I'd rather have their deep-fried tacos...  |

Can't believe no one's mentioned fried green tomatoes yet.  |

...... or fried catfish. You'd think that'd still be popular in Texas. |

This white-boy Texan would prefer a Tex Mex sampler platter with all the best Tex Mex dishes you can think of... and I would eat until I was burning! Y'all can have your fried chicken and cornbread!

I had written Texas bbq brisket in my earlier post but it was a toss-up between that and fried catfish!  |

I think I would have to go for smothered steak (that's the kind that is cooked in a covered iron skillet all day in brown gravy), mashed potatos with that gravy, fried okra, black-eyed peas and I will just take onion and tomato for the salad. Lots of iced tea and pecan pie for dessert.
And for the first meal in heaven, TEX-MEX.

I remember living in one small town where they still called regular bread "light bread" to distinguish it from cornbread.
They also always asked for an "ink pen" (to distinguish it from a pig pen, maybe - I have no earthly idea - for me it was just a "pen"). |
